Highlights

In an Australian-first surgical procedure, Epworth’s oral and maxillofacial surgeon George Dimitroulis in 2015 corrected a young man’s rare congenital jaw deformity, using a 3D printed jaw joint that was designed and created in Melbourne. Mr Dimitroulis led the surgical team who reconstructed the missing jaw with a custom-made jaw that was the result of careful collaboration between doctors, 3D Medical (ASX:3DM), and researchers from the School of Engineering at the University of Melbourne.

Epworth is major provider of care of maxillo-facial trauma patients through Emergency Department referrals with close links to the AFL, Rugby and convenient location to Olympic park precinct.

Experience in caring for complex facial deformity patients for over 30 years. Orthognathic procedures are routine.
